SSSusan:
Love the thought of you chuckling evily whilst thumbing through 
canon, gathering support for your latest theory.  Hee.

*I* appreciated hearing, once & for all, from JKR that Harry was in 
his cot and not in Lily's arms.  Some people were SO SURE on that 
one.... ;-)

This isn't a challenge to your budding theory or anything, but one 
question I have is this:  Is it possible that Voldy killed Lily, then 
went & killed James, and then finally cast the spell which scarred 
Harry & vaporized himself--just as we've all thought, only with the 
parents getting coffed in reverse order than we'd thought--and it's 
just that Priori Incantatum was HALTED before we could see what that 
spell "looked like"??

Or is my logic faulty here?
